## Find exons
txdb <- keepSeqlevels(TxDb.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19.knownGene, 'chr22')
txinfo <- select(txdb, keys = chosen$ucsckg_id, columns = columns(txdb), keytype = 'TXNAME')

## Buiild GRangesList with exons grouped by transcript
tx <- split(GRanges(seqnames = txinfo$EXONCHROM, IRanges(start = txinfo$EXONSTART, end = txinfo$EXONEND), strand = txinfo$EXONSTRAND), txinfo$TXNAME)
tx <- tx[match(chosen$ucsckg_id, names(tx))]

## Find overlaps with DERs
ctov <- countOverlaps(tx, fullRegions)

## Check result with FWER sig 
fwer <-  fullRegions[fullRegions$significantFWER == 'TRUE']
min.ov <- min(min(width(fwer)), min(width(tx)))

Transcripts / genes vs DERs

Overview

Table showing the results between whether the transcript was set to be differentially expressed (DE) and if it overlaps (minimum 1 bp) any candidate DER.

addmargins(table('DE status' = chosen$DE, 'Overlaps DER' = ctov > 0))
##          Overlaps DER
## DE status FALSE TRUE Sum
##     FALSE    25   23  48
##     TRUE      5   43  48
##     Sum      30   66  96

The results are not the same using a minimum overlap of 13 bp between transcripts and candidate DERs with a FWER adjusted p-value < 0.05. Thus, we will use only the DERs with FWER adjusted p-value < 0.05.

addmargins(table('DE status' = chosen$DE, 'Overlaps DER (sig FWER)' = ctov.fwer > 0))
##          Overlaps DER (sig FWER)
## DE status FALSE TRUE Sum
##     FALSE    37   11  48
##     TRUE      6   42  48
##     Sum      43   53  96

At a finer level, there is a difference in the number of exons per transcript overlapping all candidate DERs vs the DERs with FWER adjusted p-value < 0.05.

By case

We can separate the transcripts by their experiment setup case. That is, whether its from a gene with:

  • a single transcript
    • set to be DE: singleDE
    • set not to be DE: singleNotDe
  • two transcripts
    • with both set to be DE: bothDE
    • with only one transcript set to be DE: oneDE
    • with both set not to be DE: noneDE

Then compare against the results where

  • success.DE means that the transcript was set to be DE and overlaps a DER (true positive)
  • failed.DE means that the transcript was set to be DE and doesn't overlap a DER (false negative)
  • success.DER means that the transcript was set not to de DE and doesn't overlap a DER (true negative)
  • failed.DER means that the transcript was set not to be DE and does overlap a DER (false positive)
## Indexes
idx <- list(success = list(de = chosen$DE & ctov.use > 0, der = !chosen$DE & !ctov.use > 0), failed = list(de = chosen$DE & !ctov.use > 0, der = !chosen$DE & ctov.use > 0))
idx <- lapply(idx, function(x) { lapply(x, which) })

## Classify results
chosen$result <- 'Success.DE'
chosen$result[ idx$success$der ] <- 'Success.DER'
chosen$result[ idx$failed$de ] <- 'Failed.DE'
chosen$result[ idx$failed$der ] <- 'Failed.DER'

## Overall summary
kable(table(chosen$case, chosen$result), format = 'html')
Failed.DE Failed.DER Success.DE Success.DER

Failed.DE (false negative)

The 6 Failed.DE cases (false negatives) are mostly short single transcript genes (one exon only) where 5 were set to have low expression on one group, normal on the other two.

## Successful cases
success.de <- tx[ idx$success$de  ]
success.der <- tx[  idx$success$der ]

## What happened with the 2 txs set to be DE that were not picked up?
failed.de <- tx[ idx$failed$de  ]

However, 2 similar cases with short transcripts were successfully detected. So it's likely that a lower F-stat cutoff would have picked up these false negative cases.

Failed.DER (false positive)

Out of the 11 Failed.DER transcripts (false positives), 11 of them are from the oneDE case. You could then argue that they are really not false positives. However, 0 and 0 transcripts are from the noneDE and singleNotDE cases respectively which would be the truly false positives.

Plots

Coverage plots with F-statistics shown at the bottom for the false positive cases. One plot it shown for each exon that compose these transcripts. For the 11 transcripts from the oneDE case, it can be seen how at least one plot contains a DER overlapping an exon set to be DE. .

Some complex situations where there are exons on both strands can be observed.

Other strand

In some simulations, we found what seemed to be false positive transcripts but turned out to overlap DERs in regions where there are exons on both the positive and negative strands and at least one of the exons was set to be DE.

## Most of the truly false positive transcripts don't overlap other transcripts

As it can be seen below, 0 apparent false positive transcripts from the noneDE case overlap (when strand is not taken into account) genes where at least one of two transcripts was set to be DE.

Gene level

For each gene, if at least one transcript is set to be DE then we consider the gene to be DE. Then, we check if the gene overlaps at least one DER.

gene <- data.frame(gene_id = unique(chosen$gene_id))
gene$DE <- sapply(gene$gene_id, function(x) { any(chosen$DE[chosen$gene_id == x])  })
gene$case <- sapply(gene$gene_id, function(x) { unique(chosen$case[chosen$gene_id == x])  })
gene$overlaps <- sapply(gene$gene_id, function(x) { sum(ctov.use[ chosen$ucsckg_id[chosen$gene_id == x] ]) })
gene$overlap <- gene$overlaps > 0

## Results between DE status and overlapping at least 1 DER at the gene level
addmargins(table('DE status' = gene$DE, 'Overlaps DER' = gene$overlap))
##          Overlaps DER
## DE status FALSE TRUE Sum
##     FALSE    24    0  24
##     TRUE      6   30  36
##     Sum      30   30  60

Conclusions

The results from the simulation are promising as most transcripts were correctly classified as differentially expressed or not by derfinder.

The majority of the false negative cases involved short single transcript genes with one group having low expression relative to the other two. These cases could potentially be mitigated by lowering the F-statistic threshold used in the derfinder analysis.

In some simulations there are some apparent false positives which are due to transcripts on one strand set not to be DE overlapping transcripts from the other strand set to be DE. This situation could be solved with strand-specific RNA-seq data and running derfinder for each strand separately.

Extra

Minimum number of reads per transcript as well as per sample.

## Distribution of the minimum number of reads per transcript
summary(apply(readmat, 1, min))
##    Min. 1st Qu.  Median    Mean 3rd Qu.    Max. 
##     1.0   213.2   453.5   625.5   783.0  2747.0
## Distribution of the minimum number of reads per sample

##   1.000   7.000   9.000   9.067  11.000  19.000

The minimum number of reads per transcript for a given sample is 1.

DERs vs segments

Next we can evaluate the simulation by classifying the exonic segments as whether they should be DE or not. Then, we can find if the DERs overlap such segments. We would expect that the DERs with a FWER adjusted p-value < 0.05 would only overlap segments that were set to be DE.

segments <- GRangesList(lapply(gene$gene_id, function(x) {
    i <- chosen$ucsckg_id[ chosen$gene_id == x]
    
    ## Find segments
    segs <- disjoin(unlist(tx[i]))
    ov <- findOverlaps(segs, tx[i])
    
    ## Find DE status per segment
    segs$DE <- as.vector(tapply(subjectHits(ov), queryHits(ov), function(y) {
        any(chosen$DE[ chosen$gene_id == x])
    }))
    
    ## Finish
    return(segs)
}))
names(segments) <- gene$gene_id
segs <- unlist(segments)


## Do DERs overlap segments that are set to be DE?
der.ov <- findOverlaps(fullRegions, segs)
fullRegions$overlap <- sapply(seq_len(length(fullRegions)), function(x) {
    y <- which(queryHits(der.ov) == x)
    if(length(y) == 0) return(NA)
    any(segs$DE[ subjectHits(der.ov)[y] ])
})

Segments per DER

We can check how many segments each DER overlaps. Ideally they should all overlap at least one segment, but there are some cases where this could not happen (6 in this case). Mostly because of small mismatches between the transcripts and the actual mRNA used in the simulation.

## Do DERs overlap at least one segment?
table(countOverlaps(fullRegions, segs))
## 
##   0   1   2   3   4 
##   6 451   9   1   2
## Widths of DERs not overlapping any segment
width(fullRegions[is.na(fullRegions$overlap)])
## [1] 39  4  3  1  1  1
## Do these DERs have a significant FWER adjusted p-value?
table(fullRegions$significantFWER[is.na(fullRegions$overlap)])
## 
##  TRUE FALSE 
##     0     6

DER correctness

However, the main result is whether the DERs overlap segments expected to be DE. Note that for this comparison, DERs are unstranded and could potentially overlap two segments from different strands where only one of them was set to be DE.

## Check by whether the DER has a FWER adjusted p-value < 0.05
addmargins(table('Overlaps a DE segment' = fullRegions$overlap, 'FWER p-value < 0.05' = fullRegions$significantFWER))
##                      FWER p-value < 0.05
## Overlaps a DE segment TRUE FALSE Sum
##                 FALSE    0    30  30
##                 TRUE   122   311 433
##                 Sum    122   341 463

Regardless of whether the DER p-value, we see that 6.48 percent of the DERs overlapping at least one segment, incorrectly overlap a segment set not to be DE.

Conclusions

None of the DERs with a FWER adjusted p-value < 0.05 overlaps a segment set not to be DE, which is what we would expect.
